Install Android Studio on Linux Mint 18.1 - Permission Denied

Trying to install Android Studio 2.3.0.8 for Linux on Linux Mint 18.1 (64bit) however it isn't working.

I have downloaded the zip; android-studio-ide-162.3764568-linux.zip -from https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html and followed the instructions in the user guide and other stackoverflow questions but it won't install.

The steps I take are:

(1) Extract android-studio-ide-162.3764568-linux.zip to /home/username/Downloads. I have also tried moving the folder (using terminal command sudo mv from/file /usr/local and to /opt/). However the result is always the same

(2) Run in terminal; cd ./Downloads/android-studio/bin or /usr/local, etc. then enter the command ./studio.sh

I have tried tried this a number of times but it still wont work. ;

"username@username-MS-7970 ~/Downloads/android-studio/bin $ ./studio.sh

bash: ./studio.sh: Permission denied"

Any help would be much appreciated.

  sezpanda@sezpanda-MS-7970 /opt/android-studio/bin $ sudo ls -a
  [sudo] password for sezpanda: 
  .                    idea.properties   log.xml             studio.vmoptions
  ..                   inspect.sh        os                  subprocess
  appletviewer.policy  libbreakgen64.so  studio64.vmoptions  sys
  fsnotifier           libbreakgen.so    studio.png
  fsnotifier64         lldb              studio.sh
  sezpanda@sezpanda-MS-7970 /opt/android-studio/bin $

Simply download .zip from official url i.e. android_studio & then check whether there is java installed or not on your system, to check simply do,

java -version

will return something like this,

openjdk version "11.0.3" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.3+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.3+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

Then extract .zip & go to extracted zip folder & then go to bin, open your Terminal & perform these two step & Android Studio will get successfully installed on your system,

sudo chmod +x ./studio.sh

sudo ./studio.sh

You might not have chmod +x studio.sh try sh ./studio.sh

If this was not it, try again like this: sh -x ./studio.sh. This will show you every line that is run and will help you debug it.

Good luck.
